Sifters & Sieves

Sifting four before mixing it with other ingredients can make it easier to incorporate and result in a lighter, more consistent product. Using well-sifted ingredients is also crucial to ensuring that you're using consistent amounts from batch to batch, especially if you're measuring by volume instead of weight. Sieve mesh comes in different sizes with a 4 mesh screen having large holes for sifting coarse products while an 18 mesh screen has a much smaller weave and smaller holes for sifting finer ingredients.
